Who Are We?
Fair Dinkum Servers (FDS) is a community-run network dedicated to custom, friendly PvE experiences across popular survival games. We started with our flagship 7 Days to Die servers , Down Under Undead Builder and Hardcore, when a few mates could not find a stable Aussie host they trusted.
Word spread, regulars multiplied, and one server became two. Then came Conan Exiles (Shadows of Atlantis), Soulmask (Southern Cross), Palworld (Pals Down Under), Ark: Survival Ascended (Koala Cove), and Dune: Awakening (Fair Dinkum Sands).
Today we run eight game servers, an active Discord, Fair Dinkum FM, and this website. We are proud of the culture more than raw player counts. Regulars look after newcomers, staff actually show up, and donations help keep the lights on without selling the soul of the community.
No VCs, no acquisitions. Just a fair dinkum gaming family.
Hardware & Hosting
Game servers run on a dedicated AMD Ryzen 9 9950X box with 128GB DDR5, hosted in Sydney via Streamline Servers. Co-investors and builders Kaar and John (Dragonsbane) split the hardware bill so the community gets proper performance, not shared VPS lottery.
Backups, DDoS protection on the web side, and sensible restart windows keep things boring in the best way. When we say Australian hosting, the machine is physically here, not a US datacenter with a flag emoji on the listing.
Monthly hosting goal is tracked on our Streamline pay-together page. Community donations through Tebex, PayPal, and Bisect (Dune) all feed back into keeping FDS alive.
